If anyone is thinking of buying any type of sewing items: machines, long arms, sergers, notions, material, etc THIS is the store to go to make your purchases! Peter will listen to what your needs are (he is not just in it for the sale), and make the best deal for YOU not him. It doesn’t matter what your income level is, he always goes above and beyond to help YOU! Thank you Peter, Lisa, Nancy and all the lovely staff.

This is one of my favorite fabric stores! The customer service is on another level. Maureen, Maria, Kathy, Becki, Tammy, and Lynne are the best!

Peter and his team are the absolute BEST!. I am not a quilter but am learning to sew garments. This shop is a haven for quilters but it is also a haven for anyone looking for a great bargain on a quality sewing machine, embroidery machine, or serger. Peter is very knowledgable and super friendly. He will help you with honest feedback about your current machine and any repairs/maintenance that are required. I have purchased new machines here and I have also brought in my machines for maintenance and repair. I would go no where else in the county but Cozy Creative Center and Peter!

I first met Peter, when he became the new owner of Paradise Sewing in Poway and recently was very excited to visit his new store, Cozy Creative Center. I have been so impressed with Peter's integrity and passion to not only run a great store for all those who love sewing, but to care about making a difference in the community as well. He works hard to ensure you get the best machine for your needs, at the best price, without pressure. He is honest about the strengths of each machine and is extremely knowledgeable about machines whether they are old or new! His staff are always so helpful and enthusiastic as they answer questions and share ideas for great sewing projects.

I've been sewing for over 60 years and have to say this is the first time ever that I've felt I could confidently recommend a sewing machine establishment and its staff for having such tremendous integrity and service. I referred many of my friends and family to Paradise Sewing and each one loved the machine they bought and were thrilled when the price was less than they found anywhere! I'm excited to recommend Cozy Creative Center as well. It's a beautiful store with a wide variety of machines, notions, patterns, and fabrics.

Recently, I was able to purchase a Bernina that I never imagined I'd ever be able to own. Peter went above and beyond to make the deal work. Maureen gave me so many tips and great lessons on my new Bernina and Lisa joined in to answer any additional questions I had. They are both so very knowledgeable and have great ideas, sample quilts, and projects. I haven't worked with all of the staff at Cozy Creative Center yet, but everyone there has been so friendly and helpful, including the kind gentleman who provides service and repairs. You can trust Cozy Creative Center to provide an outstanding variety of machines to test drive, the best deals, the best repair service, and a family of amazing sewists to inspire you.

Cozy is an awesome quilt shop. I just love how you feel welcomed when you walk through the doors. The staff knows you by name and makes you feel part of the family. The fabric choices are beautiful, they carry stabilizer for embroidery, thread and patterns. I just love being able to have a local quilt shop to shop from that knows me and makes me feel part of the cozy family.

If you're a sewist in San Diego, run, don’t walk, to Cozy Sewing in El Cajon! This shop is an absolute gem in the sewing community, filled with beautiful machines and a stunning setup. From the moment you walk in, you’re immersed in an atmosphere that celebrates every detail of sewing craftsmanship.

But the real magic here is the customer service, which is just unbeatable. Peter, who also owns Paradise Sewing, is phenomenal. He's knowledgeable, prompt, and every visit he somehow manages to make me an offer I simply can't refuse! Peter genuinely cares about each customer, and his expertise shines through in every interaction, from helping choose the perfect machine to advising on the latest products and techniques. Both Cozy Sewing and Paradise Sewing are truly the best sewing dealerships in San Diego, and they’re frequently recognized by top brands like Baby Lock for excellence.

We San Diegans are SO lucky to have such a dedicated, high-quality business in our city. For anyone passionate about sewing, this store is a must-visit—it’s hands down the best!

Cozy and Paradise are both owned by Peter who is by far a most accomplished business man. He is very knowledgeable concerning ALL the equipment and accessories he carries in his stores. He goes above and beyond to ensure his customers are completely satisfied, often giving things free with purchases. There are always classes at many levels often also free if you’ve purchased a machine from him. He employs people who are superior at their jobs whether it be customer service at the counter, delivery and setup, or classes. It is an absolute pleasure to visit Peter and his crews at either store. His are neighborhood establishments, and he treats his customers like friends.

I was very satisfied and happy with the service I received and receive from Peter, the owner of Cozy Creative Center. He gave me immediate attention and treated me with compassion and care and made sure I was satisfied before I left the store.
